Kipton Cronkite has been building people’s art collections for over a decade. Always drawn to emerging talent, he began exhibiting young artists from the School of Visual Arts New York in a Wall Street space. As uptown collectors migrated downtown to view the art, Cronkite witnessed many becoming interested in acquiring the real estate that housed it and he seized the moment to differentiate himself from the mushrooming field of art advisers.

Kipton Cronkite, a salesman at Douglas Elliman, has also noticed this. “Clean lines are really important to millennials,” he said, “and they’re looking for an apartment that doesn’t necessarily remind them of their parents or grandparents.”

“Brokers sometimes hire a celebrity DJ or musician to perform at a private setting for a really exclusive small group of people,” according to Kipton Cronkite, an art curator and adviser. “You usually hear about those surprise performances after the fact.”

And at Privé at Island Estates, art adviser Kipton Cronkite — who’s also selecting pieces for the common areas — will escort owners on gallery visits to help them find works for their own condos. It’s an effort to help them feel settled.

“People . . . are spending a lot more time in Florida,” says Cronkite. “They want the property to feel more like the home they own elsewhere.”

$200 billion is spent worldwide on art every year, and $6 billion of that is tainted by illegal and illicit activity.

There are also artists who specialize in borrowing, if not stealing, the vibe of blue chip artists. Such imitators may create “Warholesque imagery,” says art adviser Kipton Cronkite, “but if people walk into a room and say, ‘Oh, that looks like a Warhol,’ then it’s up to the collector to correct them, right?”

Still other people may be less prone to fake art anxiety because for them art is less a status game than a cold-blooded investment.
